  The teenager from North Carolina who was arrested for planning a mass-casualty attack on New Year's Eve in support of the Islamic State group (ISIS) had hammers, knives, and a handwritten attack plot document at his home, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) found According to investigators,  Christian Sturdivant  (18) had planned to attack people at a grocery store and a Burger King fast-food restaurant.

"What are they seeking?

  Air strikes killed seven separatist fighters in Yemen on Friday, according to an official with the group, as a Saudi-led coalition hit back against a sweeping advance by the UAE-backed Southern Transition Council, threatening a major confrontation. The deaths are the first from coalition fire since the secessionist STC seized swathes of Hadramawt and Mahra provinces last month. Following the strikes, a military spokesman for the STC said it was in a "decisive and existential" war with Saudi-backed Yemeni forces, characterising it as a fight against radical Islamism -- a longtime preoccupation of the UAE. Saudi Arabia and the UAE have for years supported rival factions in Yemen's government-run territories, but the STC's offensive has angered Riyadh and left the oil-rich Gulf powers at loggerheads. Mohammed Abdulmalik, head of the STC in Wadi Hadramaut and Hadramaut Desert, said seven air strikes hit the Al-Khasha camp, killing seven and wounding more than 20. Furthe...

  India’s Maoist guerillas have just surrendered, after decades of waging war on the government from their forest bases On 6 April 2010, a company of India’s central paramilitary soldiers came under attack from Maoist guerrillas in the central-eastern state of Chhattisgarh. The Maoists, who had turned this region into their stronghold, had laid a trap. With little training and scant knowledge of the Amazon-like jungle, the Indian soldiers found themselves ambushed. They fought back, but they could not escape the ambush. Seventy-five soldiers and a state policeman accompanying them were killed. Never before had the Indian forces suffered so many casualties in a single incident, not even in  Kashmir , where, for more than  20 years,  they had been fighting a protracted battle against Islamist extremists. As the body bags of the soldiers reached their native places in different parts of India, a deep sense of anger generated among people who till recently had only a vag...
